Is it legal for me to put a monte carlo type stock my my Type D chinese SKS? I hate that thumbhole POS but I don't want Mr. BATF to slap my wrist. Thanks for the assist.

You can restock with a Monte Carlo stock as long as you do not end up with a separate pistol grip.

Doc will correct me if I'm wrong, but the Monte Carlo stock with the thumb hole is considered a one piece unit. I think what Doc is refering to is the pistol grip being a seperate part of the stock whick may cause it to be under the rules of a pre ban weapon and cause it to be considered an assault rifle!

BG:
I remember seeing somewhere that the definition of a pistol grip was any grip that allowed the web of your trigger hand above the Trigger housing (or something like that)
The thumbhole stock certainly does feel like a pistol grip.
I think the BATF has thier head screwed on sideways...
Too many laws make my head hurt ;-P

Hello Cal414. Doesn't the BATF website have the definition of a pistol grip? Are you in Kaliforicatia? I am sure they have theri own definition.

I came back to the post to see if someone has come up with the correct answer. So have we an opinion yet?
